Abstract

A two-dimensional image to be converted to a first three-dimensional image may be received. A second three-dimensional image that is visually similar to the two-dimensional image that is to be converted may be identified. A feature-to-depth mapping function may be computed for the first three-dimensional image by using an approximate depth map of the second three-dimensional image that is visually similar to the two-dimensional image that is to be converted. The feature-to-depth mapping function may be applied to a plurality of pixels of the two-dimensional image to determine a depth value for the plurality of pixels of the two-dimensional image. The first three-dimensional image may be generated based on the depth values for the plurality of pixels of the two-dimensional image.
